One positive thing is internet requires some verbal andwriting skills, so it's a good way to clear some things up before you meet.
One negative is they rarely look like their photo.

I tried match.com for awhile. You meet some nice people and you meet some weirdos, probably about the same as meeting people in real life. Two words of advice; make sure you see a picture first, oftentimes people use the anonymity of the internet to hide shortcomings, like being way overweight or unattractive or something. Also it's better to talk on the phone first. You will get an idea of how this person is through email then you meet them and they are not what you expected at all, the phone will give you a much better impression.
I say go for it, just be safe and keep an open mind. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

Right.. first thing i have to say is, that the person you see in picutres of webcam.. is nothing what there like in person.. i know, i've been though it all. There personality changes, there looks.. and so on.. just weird seeing them in person for the first time...
One guy i met off myspace, he was very quiet in person, and didn't look like his pictures... but the day went well, cos i had a friend with me then.. but the thing is.. when u met these people for the first or second time, u kinda lose interest in them... i did anyway.. as they were only intertesed in dating... and i wasn't.
Another guy i met off myspace, he was sooo lovely, he had a fanastic personailty, he even fancied me, but i didn't feel the same, which made it weird between us... and i lost interest in talking to him...
A guy at college i met off myspace, and the same dam thing happened, he fanced me, and admitted to it, i was only interested in friendship... and i lost interest in him to...
and i keep seeing this guy that i met on myspace, in town. lol, never spoken to him... but it's werid.. just seeing him around town.. and he is SO tall...
And i stood someone up, cos they we're nothing like there picture... so misleading...
Also.. this guy from yahoo answers, we were like really good friends and he was coming to london for the day... but i couldn't meet him that day.... i don't think i would have the will power to, cos he's like twice my age.. and i know what he is like.. very powerful personailty... but lovely heart and i would never meet anyone without a friends with me.
yeah, so there are my few or many experiences in meeing up with people from the internet.

just remember that ppl are always different in real life - doesnt matter how much you think you know someone they will ALWAYS be different in real life cos you cant possibly know someone completely without meeting them. so dont expect to pick up where you left off online cos it wont happen. be prepared to take a step back and get to know each other all over again. if you can accept that then you will be fine. if you think you're just gonna carry on where you left off the last time you spoke then you are setting yourself up for a huge disappointment

oh lord...well it all began on a fine may afternoon...of course I was stuck inside..and out of pure boredom joined a 3d chat thingy called IMVU. I didnt plan on anything like getting a boyfriend but it kinda was a hidden agenda I didnt want to admit to myself (im a social phobic)..and there was a few guys there..one from my area...and I met him we went to the cinema..I went with a friend...saw shrek3...wasnt that awkward cos we didnt get much of a chance to talk...but the next time we went into town and met up and we kinda had to talk AWKWARD!!! oh god it was! But anyway we kept on going and went out for a few months...he told me he loved me and I loved him...lalalallalala...he was my first and then he dumped me like last years xmas tree...big mistake! And the worst thing about it was that my friends warned me and told me not to go out with him but I still did. So I promised my sister and friends that I will never do that again...cos on one instance when I was out with him I ended up in hospital cos he offered me vodka and I took it..having harldy ever drank before...then there was the time he insisted on doing it without a condom and I was like...okay....so that was a worrying few weeks but yay im not pregnant!! Well you asked for a story...

in my opinion, I would say you have thus far done things correctly. You have talked for awhile, so you already would have seen if this person is no whom they say they are.
I myself met my fiance online. and things are great :-) i couldnt ask for more. I also have a cousin who met his wife online and they are going strong still after 7 or so years together.
I say go for it and wish you the best of luck..

I think it's great. My dad met his wife off off the internet and they have been married for almost 10 years now. I myself met my husband off off the internet and we have been married 2 years, and have a child and are very happy. It's all by chance. Go for it girl !!! =)

i've met a guy online that used to be best friends with a guy i knew. (long story though)
we did meet, and we went out, well i went to his house first and it was like "umm, hi..." and then we just went inside together.
it was a little awkward, but you could just smile at him and hold out your hand and say in a cute way, "hey! i'm _____!" if you don't want it to be awkward, it won't be.
